The increasing demand for single card solutions has contributed to the rapid growth of Mifare contactless smart card technology. With the addition of available applications such as access control, time & attendance, biometric template, digital photo, loyalty or club membership, cashless payments and ticketing systems, a card provides the user with a cost effective, enhanced alternative to conventional proximity cards, as well as a multi-purpose credential.
What is Mifare?
Mifare is a contactless smart card technology (13.56 MHz radio frequency / ISO 14443A) designed by Philips Electronics, who manufactures and distribute this product worldwide. The benefits of Mifare contactless smart cards are reliability, its extensive security features and multi-application memory options to store several applications on the one card.
BQT’s miPASS smart card range offers full read and write functionality allowing the cards to be recycled or the easy addition of more data. The card is a memory card that is made up of sectors or folders used to store data, which are locked securely with encrypted keys. Data contained in the card is transmitted via a high frequency signal from the reader to the card at a distance of up to 5cm.
Unlike contact cards, the miPASS smart card eliminates ambient concerns of humidity, dirt and dust thus decreasing wear and tear adding to the longevity of the card. Data is also guaranteed to be retained in the card for up to 10 years.
The miPASS smart card is available in a standard 1K or 4K memory size. Larger memory cards (up to 32K) and dual interface cards, such as Magstripe, PROX (125KHz) & Contact chip cards are also available. In applications where a card might not be suitable, the miPASS KeyFob offers a practical alternative.
The miPASS product is available for high security applications in DESFire format, delivering 3DES (digital encryption standard) encryption RF communication from the card and is usually applied in Financial, Military and high risk Government Institutions
